ive been doing Dog grooming for a couple of weeks now and im so scared of cutting dogs nails because i cant stand hurting them. i defo know i need to cut the back claw but my dog squeels everytime i go to cut his clw does that mean im hurting him or he just being a pain because he knows he can get around me?

Most of the time its because it dog just doesn't like it. For me, when I first got my German Shepard, he would howl and whine a lot because he just did not like it. Try maybe giving him some treats or something to distract.

yeah, i decided my dogs nails really needed clipping, they touched the table that i was working on. my dog jumps everytime i cut one, i didn't cut to far near the quick, im not that confident, especially with my dog as he has black and white nails. my aunties dog was fine practically sat there as if he was having a manicure or something because i had to file his nails down as well they were extremely sharp. he loved it ^^;

Well, for those of you who were mean, I am THANKFUL she was willing to put these series together! As for the black nails, I learned a trick. Cut just a sliver at a time and look for the circle after each cut…that circle is the quick.
